Since Patrica Carson who did a great deal of photographing many cemeteries in Polk and Marion counties plus some in Lincoln, Linn and Tillamook counties passed away last year without family notifying me.

 

I have an unusual request from a certain filmmaker who has been a graduate of Oregon School for the Deaf.

 

The request is for old cemeteries within a 30 miles radius of Salem, Oregon.

 

The cemetery needs to be similar to the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery in Eugene, has to be older type of cemetery with weathered gravestones and full growth trees, probably dating back to mid-1800s.

 

The filming will be about OSD's unexpected track state champions.

 

Filming production is to begin in April. 

 

The filmmaker is living in California with wife and a son.

 

Appreciate a very quick reply.
